Hint and Hope

Hint and Hope - when someone wants another person to do something specific, or change behavior, but is unwilling to address the issue directly. Regularly used in relationships

John: 'Mary is going out with her work colleagues tomorrow. They suck! I just want her to come home and cook dinner for me so I told her I'd get in a bottle of her favorite wine, help with the washing up and gave her a hug'

Jack: 'No way is that hint and hope going to work, man! Just tell her not to go out with that boring load of ****s'

headphone-hint

When your sitting alone (at work, on a plane, home or anywhere) listening to your music through headphones and someone comes over and starts to talk to you and you don't remove your headphones because you don't wish to talk to them.

Marie: *At work on her computer* "Music music music."

Rachel: "Hi Marie, how's it going today? So, omg I'm so worried about..."

Marie: *Looking directly at Rachel* "Music music music."

Rachel: "Marie? Hello?"

Marie: "Music music music." *Turns back to computer*

That is a headphone-hint.
